Patrick Stewart‘s last scene ever as Jean Luc Picard in season 3 episode 10 of Picard in 2023. Such a fitting way to go out 💔😥🥰
This scene brings a tear every single time. So glad they filmed Picard season three a few years ago 💔🖖
Headed into the Tesla service center in Loveland about 530 last night. Walked inside as I was waiting for my ride. The sales guy said “wow that frost blue looks so good with those bronze wheels.” I said “Yep. That’s what @MartianWheels do!” He then jumped onto the Martian website right there to take a look 🙌
No mo fishbowl. But it’s not illegally dark. 20%. You can totally see the inside still. I’m getting too old for 5-10%.
Lots of reactions to my perceived lack of profit in my video below. A few more details based on questions. On a vehicle purchase, here are taxes I pay:
City of Fort Collins: 4.35%
Larimer County: 1.05%
State of Colorado: 2.90%
I’m estimating my short-term capital gains for federal at 35%. That’s the $2800.
I did not pay registration because I sold the vehicle within the 60 day window.
I’m sure if I lived in another state or outside city limits, my profit margin would’ve been different. What do you think?
I am all about transparency. So many people have been asking what the dollars look like purchasing my $59k Cybertruck and then selling for my 2026 Frost Blue Model 3 Performance. Well, here is the whole 3 minute story with exactly what I made at the end. Special shout out in this vid to @Evautoalex with @evautodotcom who generously volunteered to help sell it, but at the end of the day I was able to make it happen myself. Please watch, and all of your questions will be answered. At the end, I ask was it worth it? Do you agree with my answer?

My garage feels like a Tesla delivery center at end of quarter. Overcompensated by selling too many vehicles I guess. Literally had to borrow my neighbor’s 4runner to go to work tomorrow.
Hot Take: iPhone Duo is on parity with those dumb Apple goggles they tried to sell a couple years ago that six people purchased to make content with and then took them back when they realized they were lame.
A quick example about how legacy automakers are on a slow decline to zero. A 2026 Mach-E base model lets you use phone as key. For 2027, Ford took that feature away and you have to step up a trim to pay for it. So the base Mach-E forces you to carry a key in your pocket like it’s 2015 🤯 Somebody fact check me. It’s true.
So was uploading a video on Instagram because I do have followers there and I scrolled and of course it jumped to Threads. I have never pressed like or followed anyone on there. So the algorithm has got to be pretty weak for me. Anyway, my first few seconds were all about seizing Starlink for the government, bankrupting Elon, and preparing for this 90 day power grid shutoff they all say is happening after election day over there. Such a strange bubble they live in. Actually feel sorry for Threads users 🙏
My car goes back in tomorrow to Tesla to fix two more small issues noted right after delivery. This is a different service center and the guy goes “oh yeah the one with the door” 😡😡😂😂
Exactly what I bought and sold mine for. To the penny. Hopefully later today I’ll have a video out for you guys with all of the calculations. After taxes fees and my time, it’s really not that much profit. I think you’ll be surprised. And I gave it all back to Tesla for a new Tesla.
